In our first hour or so of sailing, the winds steadily increased a we beat up the river. On our zag to go south of Carleton Island back towards the south shore of the River, Julia and I noticed that a couple of Wayfarers had taken shelter in a small cove behind us. We decided to check this out in case anyone needed help, and besides, a small beer break seemed like an attractive option. It turned out that Ralph and André had spied this welcome bit of shelter and decided to explore its possibilities. We were made very welcome by a couple of cottage owners who offered refreshments and bathroom facilities as well as interesting conversation. In the end, everyone except Dick Harrington and Chuck Jordan ended up coming in here and making this our destination. The latter continued doggedly and admirably on to Cape Vincent where they met their ladies for lunch and Chuck lost his wallet. Not to forget Bill and Margie who found the upwind going slow and tough the way they were rigged and had headed back to Cedar Point fairly early in the proceedings.
